A luxury cabin on a grazing and hunting farm in the Central Plateau is available for purchase and gives buyers the opportunity to acquire a property that offers guests an unrivalled secluded getaway.
Located at 283 Kaitieke Road in the small settlement of Raurimu, the property is known as Ringa Kaha and spans 87.68ha.
Sitting high on the landscape, with striking views, the lovingly crafted board and batten cabin, which measures 65sq m, has been cleverly situated to privately bathe in its surroundings.
National Park Village is only a short drive away, but the cabin is fully off-grid with solar power, automated backup generator, and spring-fed water.

A feature of the property is the area of impressive mature native bush, which provides the gateway to the Erua Forest on the boundary.
Stunning views to Taranaki Maunga, Ruapehu, Tongariro, and the captivating landscape with rocky outcrops and waterfalls provide limitless options for discerning purchasers.
With activities that will appeal to summer and winter travellers, this stunning property possesses a cosiness and spaciousness that evokes a full spectrum of feelings from peaceful relaxation to wild adventure.
The current owners enjoy a steady rental stream from the property, which has a very high occupancy rate and generates a year-round income.
The landholding, which sits between 600m and 700m above sea level, is split into five paddocks with a mixture of rolling and steep contours.
Occupants benefit from the amenities in the nearby National Park Village, which includes restaurants, bars, and cafes.
Hadley Brown, Director of Rural at Colliers Hawke's Bay, has been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale via tender closing at 2pm on Thursday 23 May.
Originally run as a deer farm, the property is now utilised for grazing and game hunting.
Built in 2017, the cabin sleeps up to six people with a considered layout that includes a generous kitchen/dining area, bathroom, and master and mezzanine bedrooms.
The living area has bifolding doors to the east and west which open onto expansive decks so the occupants can follow the weather s lead and choose a fully open breezeway, a sheltered direction, or a closed-in cocoon.
With an indoor wood burner for the colder months, an outdoor oven, and Dutch hot tub it is the perfect place to entertain. An additional studio with potbelly stove provides cosy accommodation for guests.
Just 15 minutes from Whakapapa Village, this is a fantastic winter stay for skiers, or equally lovely for those just looking for a cosy winter escape.
In summer, the options are endless and include walking in the National Park (Tongariro Alpine Crossing is close by), mountain biking the many trails in the area, hunting the sika, fallow, and red deer that frequent the property, fishing the surrounding catchments, or even canoeing the Whanganui River.
Brown says the location offers guests an outstanding outdoor playground to make the most of its surroundings.
"The Central Plateau is synonymous with winter adventure. Mt Ruapehu attracts the masses to its ski fields and the nearby settlements bustle with visitors, but this North Island alpine region has a serene charm in the off-season," Brown says.
"The property has exquisite views over bush and farmland and for guests that don't want to head out and explore they can just take a few days to breathe, take in the incredible night sky, views, and the off-grid peace and quiet.
"This dream hideaway offers buyers the chance to enjoy the beauty of Ringa Kaha for themselves while generating income when they are not there through utilising it as an accommodation offering."
